ABOUT JULIE KRONE JUNIOR JOCKEY CAMP
JUNIOR JOCKEY CAMP
The Julie Krone Junior Jockey Camp is designed to provide motivated boys and girls an opportunity to learn basic horsemanship and expose them to the skills required to gain employment as grooms, exercise riders or even jockeys in a professional racetrack setting. With an emphasis on health and safety for both the horse and handler, the Jockey Camp curriculum will lean heavily toward not only a positive presentation of the sport of horse racing, but also the value of understanding the psychology of the equine athlete.
